2 months old...wow...today you are 2 months old. It is amazing how much you have grown in the past month. I'm not sure my heart could feel any fuller than it does when I'm with you. I have sooo much to tell you!
Today we went to see Dr. Kreiling for your 2 month visit. You weigh 8 lbs. 15 oz (10th %tile), you are 22 7/8 in. long (75th %tile!) and your head circumference measured 14 3/4 in. (10th %tile). You gained 1 lb. in 3 weeks! We are so proud of you! You are definitely maintaining the long and lean look!! After all of the fun stuff, it was on to the rest of your appointment...the immunizations...2 oral and 3 injections....Momma and Grandma were so sad for you. I don't think I have heard you scream that loud yet and then you went into the cry that I hate so much. On the way home, I gave you a bottle and you fell fast asleep. Whew!
A lot of exciting things have been happening this month. You are alert and interactive. You make eye contact and can shift your eye contact from one person to another as they are talking to you. During tummy time you can lift your head 90 degrees and you almost rolled over! You love love love to snuggle but also love to just lay on the floor by yourself and kick your legs and giggle. You love watching the puppies play, you especially like to watch Pepper and her shiny black coat.
You are still wearing newborn size clothes and jammies, as well as newborn size diapers. You are eating 4 oz every 4 hours...sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.
Aunt Krissy, Aunt Beanie, and Aunt Puggie love to hold you and snuggle with you. Aunt Krissy always thinks you need a diaper change, and tries to change you every time she holds you! It is so funny! She just doesn't want her Kenna-girl wearing a messy diaper! ...and if she would just learn to shut the top of the wipes, it'd be all good!
Our favorite saying is "do it, do it, just do it", Grandma, Aunt Beanie, Aunt Puggie & I say it to you making you smile, giggle, and talk. You are just so funny! You coo and 'talk' to us, especially when we ask you "what did you do today?". Every time you hear your Mommy or Daddy's voice you look around trying to find us.
Every Sunday night, GP babysits you while your Mommy and Daddy play volleyball. You love to lay next to him on the floor and talk. He just can't get enough of you...he always touches your face, loving your cheekies.
You are waking up once during the night to eat, usually around 2 or 3am. You'll get up again around 5 or 6am to eat and then take another nap while Grandma and Mommy watch The Today Show and Oprah.
This month we closed on our new house and we'll be moving in the next couple of months. We've gone to the new house a few times together to look at your room. One time we even got to meet our new neighbors while the neighborhood was having their garage sales. There are so many kids, you are just going to love it! We just got our pool passes too! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to take you swimming!
You love to take baths. You like to kick your feet and lay in the warm water. You don't really like it though when Mommy has to wash your neck!
You don't get fussy very often, but when you do what settles you down the best is Aunt Puggie singing "Roll Black Water, Keep on Rollin'" - she has been singing that to you since birth!
Just know that you are the most perfect little girl in the world.
I love you sweet girl.
Love, Momma
gotta get a picture with the tutu on!
...and with her sister!
